Still Trying to Figure Out Displacements

[E-85]

One of the biggest hurdles I’ve been trying to get over in Hammer is figuring out how to use displacements properly. In this case, I’m trying to make this part of the hill curve so it makes a natural-looking slope as opposed to this sharp end up at the top. How exactly do I go about doing this? Is there an easier method to making bends out of displacements besides just moving every part one by one and microadjusting them until it gets to the desired shape?

The trick is a large brush with very small movements. You can hold shift and move your mouse while displacing to give yourself more fine control. I would move the red arrow out and then smooth on that lip with a large brush on a small distance like 4hu. I watch a video of freyja do it once and she was using 1hu distance and a large brush to make large natural looking hills.

Lots of people have asked about displacements recently, and with YM's tutorial being half-broken, and IMO a inferior method of constructing displacements, I've been requested a few times to write this tutorial on how I do my displacements. Disclaimer: This tutorial is more about the method of...
